LITERARY REVIEW• SitAICSPEARE AND HIS TIMES : including the Iliogita ~ phy Of.that Poet; Criticisms on his Genius; ttNew Cbro .-nolvity of his Plays; a Disquisition on the Object 6: his Sonnets; and a History of the Manners,'CudoMS, &c. &c. of his Age. By NATHAN DRAKE, M.D. Author of " Li teral y flouts," am! of " Essays on Periodical Literattite." Two Vols. 40. I 81;. CAD . ELL and DAvms. (Concluded.) Interesting as this work i-, in every part, to the lovers of English Poetry, and pre•eminently 50,,t0 that numerous body, the admirers of SR, KSPEARE, we come now to a portion of it which more powerfully at rests our attention than any other; that is, the chronology, and critical view of our great Poet's Dramas. These objects occupy the 9th, 1014, II dr, and 12th - Char et s of Ihe•Second Part ; and are illustrated with more felicity of re search, conducted by a mote cool and steady. itOgareut, than have hitherto been brought to the inquiry. • Thm in an arr,+ngen►ent ►there ►ve have sip Utile aid from I,ct or secure th)ci4ment, a great pait rest lip on" coolectute, will readily be allowied„ The task ut 1)r. PR ‘K'n, has been principally to r, : nonare and weigh the conieetnres of former writers, anti by the aid ot a new and critical %iew of the' Dramas theins• I% , es, either to 'confirni their Opinions, or to piopose his own. Here we imiy observe,' float one play, Pericles, is establi s hed as the work of SHAKSPEARE, which ba4brforebecn regarded as doubtful. But that two which have had a place ill all modern vtli tions, natucly, the First Parf cf henry anal Titus ..-Indronicus, are completely excluded. Nor is the smallest cOuntenaneegiVettio theclaimsof Locrine, Sir John Oldcastle, - Lord Cromiiell, The London Prodigal, The Puritan, The Yorkshire Tragedy, which indeed lia.c never been supported by any competent author. As they had been sometimes atttihutecl,• Mr. MALoNa thought tit to reptint them, with Pericles, iu a supplemental 'volume, but without much contending for' their authenticity. The genuine productions of Our Poet for the Theatre are therefore stated as 35 ; the I st, and succession of which, according to Dr. DaAKE's vier, were given in a former ar ticle. I. Pericles, the first of these, is considered as the earliest effort ortbe young Dramatist, in 1590: and as being principully, if not entirely, . . . own. This.play was printed in Ito. as early , as 1609, by LlEt+.2tt,y GossoN, ‘vho explicitly gat it as the work of SHAE.SPEARR. It is not 'among the twenty gaartirS rvpribted by Mr..SiligYtots, in . toue volumes, prohatily because, at the time of that publication, the Editor bud not considered it. The testimony of DRYDEN is . With propriety ad cil►ced as of creat authority, both for its being SHAKSPEARE'S, and for its •beiu ,, his eat 'lest play: Shakspeare's own Mnse his I'l2 - ides first 'pre, The Prince of 'lyre ;vas elder than the Moor. Foul. 19 Circe. 1077. After enforcing tbe external, Dr. DRAKE (l ells Opon the internal evidence for this play, tviiinh he di s ptays with great strength, by the citation of many beautiful passases,. For its dumb•shvws, and other irresu'arities, a ready apology is found, in the practice of our I'o is predeces,ors ; by which it is not Wonderful that lit should have been , s e d u c e d in . his very frst attempt. Front a sug gestion of Mr. ST.EFViLNS, it is shown to be pro bable that StiAkse,4HE meant his Prince of Tyre to be called Pp odes. a tunne butrowed trout SID NEY'S Arcadia, published in 15t30, and Much atl mired by SHAKESPEAEE. 119ty it became COI"- T ,MICO or confused into Pericles is au certain.- The conclusion of the whole inquiry, to which more space is allotted than to aty other, is this : " That by far the greater part of this play issued from the pen of SHAKSPEARE, that 'it was his first tlramatic production, that it appealed towards the close Of the year 1590, and that it deserves to be removed (rout the Appendix to the editions o f §HAKSPEARE, Where it has hitherto appeared, and incorporated into the body of hi 3 works."— p . 286. The Comedy of Errors, which stands in this list es the second play, is ably defended by Dr.. DRAKE from many imputed faults. Of Lore's Labour Jost, the next in order, it is allowed that " no play in the Author's works exhibits more decisive ;walks of jity iiii :" yet it is asserted, that it displays several poetical gems, contains many jnsc moral apophthegms, and is distin guished by ;'an intrinsic and almost inexplicable power of pleasing, which serves, perhaps, better than any other criterh , ra, to ascertain. the gennin, property of :SHAKSPEARE,“ Wltich, if applied .to Titus Andronicus, a nti what has been called The First Part of Henry VI. at once evinces the vanity eif rheir pretensions." The spuriousness of the latter of these has indeed -beers fully proved by Mr. MALONE, awl - is here confirme(l by further proofs. Itejeciin.4 this, therefore, the two play.• hitherto called the 241 - and 3d parts of //enry will stand as tiie first and second ; and are.con- tittered by Dr. D. .as the next productions of the poet ; origin 34, perhaps, sketched by illatiLow, PEELP., and others, but totally recast and re formed by the masterly hand of SIiAKSPEAtIE. " lf, however," says Dr. D. " it.shoold be thought convenient to have the Old Play of henry the Sixth (i e. the Ist pitt) at hand for reference, let it be placed in an Appendix to the Poet's works dislodging for that purpose the diSgnsting Tragedy of Titus Andronicus, which has . hitherto, 'to the disgrace of our national literature, and of our noblest Poet, accompanied every edition. aspiring to be complete, from the folio of 1623, to the re•impression of 1813 1" As we cannot thus go through the whole list of these plays, we shall content ourselves with producing a few specimens of the author's ani . - mated and eloquent opinions on the plays of SHAKSPEARE. Jo his account of the sth of them, the Midsummer Night's Di-eum, be launches out into a copious but very - amusing view of the va rious fictions of Fairy History, antecedent to SrtAKseenas, particularly among the Goths and the Scotch and concludes by shoring with what . teatly Of im4gination SHAKSPEAttE has made a new Fairy BN - stein for himself, which from that tithic has superseded every other. `.‘' The canvas, it is true," says our author, " which SHAKSPEARE stretched, has . ' since been expanded, and new groupes have been introduced ; but the outline and the mode of `calotiring . whieh he' employed, have been invariably folloWM. It is,` in short, to his picture of the Fairy Wort& that we are in-' debted for . the Nymphidin of DRAYTON, the Robin Goodfellow of JoNsotsr, the miniatures of FLErcnER and littowNit, the full-length' Portraits of HERRICK, the sly allusions Of CORBET, atul the spirited picturesque sketches, of MILTON." P. 344. Dr. DRAKE quotes several fine eulogies upon Our great Bard from a Gerinan . Author, ACGLIS'.. TUS kVILLIAst SCHLEGEL, whose Lectures oh' amatic Alt were translated in 1815; by 1111- - .. BLACK ; and the English Reader has great obliga tions to him fur bringing to his notice nn author of so much metit. Yet his own pen is equally. aisle in charactelizing, wheneVer he undertakes it, the peculiar excellencies of part icubir Drama. On Romeo and Juliet he thus expresses his feel ings : " Such is the force of the appeal which the Port makes to the heart, in this bewitching Drama, - that, were it not relieved by the urea sional intervention of lighter emotions, the effect would be truly painful but with his wonted ferti- Ury of resource, our author has effected this pur pose in a manurr, which, while it heightens by the poWer of contrast, at the same' time diversifies the picture, anti exhilirates the mind. Every hue of many-coloured life, the effervescence of hope, and the hushed repose of di , ,appointment, the bloom of youth, the withered aspect of age, the intoxication of rapture . ,and the bitterneis of - grief, the scintillations of wit, and the speechless agonies of despair, tears and smiles, gloans and laughter, ' are so blended in the texture of this piece, as to produce the necessary relief, without, disturbing the union and harmony of the whole, or impair in the smallest degree,• the gradually aug menting interest which accompanies the hapless lovers to their tornb."—p. 362. In speaking of the Two Gentlemen of Verona, Dr. justly. condemns the hlind anti tasteless decisions Of 11ANMER, THEOBALD, and UPTON, who not only. dispUted. the authenticity of this Mama, but condetntied it as a very interior pro duction. So, far are these. opinions, however, from having any just foundation, that we may safely assert the peculiar style of SHAKSPPARF. 10 lie'vividly impressed on all the parts of this Drama, whether serious or comic. Dr. JOHN SON also supports him in the opinion that no one of his plays niore abounds t, ith aphoristic sen tences ; and " few have more lines and. passages which, singly considered, are eminently 'beauti fol."—p. 30 . 3. Without further extending our view of this truly attractive wink, which tempotary circumstances tnAe it difficult for us to attempt, me may sniely feel confident, that no intelligent reader can have perused what we have written upon it, without being convinced that we have directed his alien, tiou to a book admirably planned, and executed with vigour and ability abundantly sufficient ro do Justice to that plan. In fact', diligent investigatiOu, accurate discernment, sound judgment, and ele gant taste will be fonntiemployed in-every pair ; in full proportion to the demands, for each of them tespectively, from the various subjects of discussion. (hiel part of the Work, which is of neces si:y the shot test, exhibits to us SnAKsPE.Atre only in his retirement at Stratford, where with heart felt satisfaction we see him flourishing in wealth, acquired by efforts of talent and genius, which at: once have mule the name of the author immortal,. and have added the brightest wreath of gloiy to his country. • AS it was lately noticed in our roper that some &seeudants of the bard have been discovered it , indigeiit circumstances, let 115 hope that the inti mation wdl not he lost ; but that the libet>slity of the country will at least give competence to the descend.ints of him to whom we are so deeply in debted for natiu u glory.

The Danish., lianoverian,• anti Saxon contingents, which form part of the right wing, will commence their March to return home in the month of May. The Rus s sian and. English corps will remain till September next in the poritions' which theyliOw occupy, At that time the English troops will go to Calais, to embark there, nnti the Russians to Dusikiek. All the horses belonging to the Rus sian artillery, cavalry, and military train, will be ceded to Fral:ce by a particular arrangement, which . will spare the inconvenience of transport ing them by sea. Such is the new that circu lates at the head-quarters at Cambray, and which comes from a respectable source. The 400 Engli3ll troops who embarked at Ca lais at the end of last month to return to England, have been replaced by an equal number who have just landed. ASSIZE INTELLIGBNCE. At the Stafford Assizes a case was tried of a curious nature. A public nieeting to petition for Parliamentary Reform hiving been hdd in the Potteries, a nian named Deakin was employed to hawk about and obtain signatures to the peti tif,n, and he placed himself in the high road Op posite 'to. Mr. Spode's manufactory at Stoke, with the view of catching the men as they lett %yolk, and getting them to sign it. 911 being observed with a table berme Hm, five person s within the manufactory brought out a water en gine, with which they pursued D,!akin along the road till lie was thorOughly tiretu lied, and their water exhausted. Deakin now indicted them for rint and assault—be appeared vvry illiterate, had been a boatman, a carter, and a pots:eller, and it appeared was hired toobtain the signatures, at 3s. a day. Mr. DAUNcEY, in addressing the Jury for the defendants, said, Deakin went to set his inflam matory n►3tter to work amongst Mr. Spode's men, and they took the readiest means to extinguish his Haire; he excited a flame, and they put a little water on him, and eXtitigoiShed.it. Judge ButtaonGH Considered the cond►rct of Deakin blameable in placing himself before the n►anufactory for the purpose of catching the :urn as th ey came out ; hut_ still a riot and assault had been corn►uitted, acts highly illegal. Tt , c Jury, however, brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. At Dorchester Assizes; Mr. Baldwin, a farmer, recovered 1901. - from the Earl of Dighy, for da rn' ge smtained by hint last July, when the plai►►- till's meadows were flooded, and his bay washed away, t!►tough a servant of his-Lordship's impro perly drawing the hatches at the head of a fish pond. The. Sussex Assizes did not finish ontil late on Tnuriday night. There were 19 capital convic tions, but none of . tlitin were left for execution.
